yreyes,

Are you sure late june? When I had my interview I was told mid to end of May was when applicants will start hearing back from the program. So you might not have to wait as long as you think!

hey guys,

I had my interview this past wednesday, I think it went well, my interviewer was very responsive to my answers, however I wasn't able to gauge wether or not I was what she was looking for. Wednesday was the first time in a long time that I was on the U of R campus, It was really beautiful and the atmosphere was absolutely vibrant... It made me really set in my decision to attend the school, I really just hope that I get accepted. As lame as it sounds it would basically make my life.

I'm glad it went well Ali! And that's not lame at all, it's a huge decision that will shape your future - I feel the same way.

Has anyone heard of applicants getting accepted without getting interviewed? I turned my application in in march and still havent heard. anything which is making me lose hope in u of r.

Hey,

The interview as a required part of the application. No one gets in without one. However, as we've said on here a few times, interviews are scheduled over time through April and May. So don't give up hope until late May

Definitely don't give up hope lkjmp! i was contacted about a week and a half before my interview and they are still conducting up until the end of their spring semester. So you definitely can still hear from them! Good Luck!

That's what i was told in my interview as well, but i received an email saying that they were aiming to get the decisions out by the end of May, but since they have received a lot of applications, it will realistically be by the end of June. IDK.. hopefully they will get through them quickly so we can hear back from them!

xoxjedixox · Apr 20, 2011

I agree yreyes! Especially since we would all need to find housing and get settled!

Hey, guys!

I posted awhile ago...been super busy, work, preqreq's, blah blah.

I think someone asked me a question awhile back, but I only have time to pop back on here, so I'm sorry to whomever; I'll get back to you next time

I think the decision making on UR's part is somewhat going day by day as they assess their candidates.

I'm sure many people will hear different answers as to when letters will go out.

Except for the people who have to make a decision very soon regarding other schools, it seems we all need to just sit back and wait for June, late May, whatever.

Time moves fast!

In regards to 300 or so candidates, you always have to factor in incomplete applications, people who are obviously unqualified (in that the requirements of admissions are not met despite what the candidate thinks), those who don't meet school academic/writing/interview standards, and those who may decide on another school in the meantime and recant their application packet, etc.

So, that knocks a lot of people out of the running. I recently had to place an ad for a qualified manager position in the health field, and many of the resumes I received were horrible! That being said, not to make anyone feel uncomfortable or to sound superior, but there are a lot of "desperate's" out there and people who just don't meet the cut. The unemployment arena is still poor out there, despite some upswing, so there will be people who deem this a great time to just go back to school or just change careers...this could be good or bad in terms of more qualified applicant's, but there is still a percentage in your favor.

Have confidence, and if you don't get in, apply for the next semester and be sure to ask UR how you could improve you appl. packet.

Okay, now if I can only follow my own words of advice!

Good luck everyone, until we speak again!! :)
